English version: May all beings in the evil realms of samsara (hells, hungry ghosts, animals) be bathed in the Dharma, extinguish their karmic debts, attain bodies of merit, and be reborn in Trayastrimsa Heaven (the Heaven of the Thirty-three, ruled by Indra) or Tushita Heaven (the Pure Land of Maitreya Bodhisattva). Furthermore, describe the method for making the Argha vase (water offering vase). It should be a white vase with a long neck, a large opening, and a bulging belly, filled with fragrant water. Insert various flowers, fruits, and tree branches into the vase, as well as containing the Five Treasures (gold, silver, lapis lazuli, tridacna, agate), the Five Herbs (Dendrobium, ginseng, Poria cocos, Polygala, licorice), and the Five Grains (rice, millet, sorghum, wheat, beans). Spread green auspicious grass and place the vase on top. Tie a blue cloth around the neck of the vase; this is the method for making the Argha vase. If performing Homa (fire offering), the vase should be placed at the east gate of the Mandala (sacred diagram), and a white umbrella, flower garlands, etc., should be hung above it. Also, set up five banners on the four sides. In front, set up the Homa stove (fire offering stove), with a width of two cubits (ancient unit of length), down to one cubit, and the height, depth, color, and markings should all follow the rules of the fundamental teachings. The materials used for Homa must include Prithivi incense, dragon flowers, auspicious fruits, as well as various fruits, black sesame, barley, wheat, polished rice, ghee, honey, cheese, and moist firewood containing milk, etc. Once all these items are fully prepared, the Acharya (Vajra Master) holds the Vajra bell and Vajra pestle, presses them on the items, and blesses each with its respective mantra one hundred and eight times. The ceremony for installing and praising the image is also the same. All the items used for Homa are placed to the right of the Homa stove, with only the Utpatti bowl placed to the left of the stove. The Acharya performs the Three Samaya Visualizations (body, speech, and mind in accordance with the deity) according to the Dharma. Then, sprinkle the stove with clean water to purify it. After the purification is complete, ignite the fire in the stove. Once the fire is blazing, sprinkle the flames slightly with Argha water. Then, the Acharya forms the mudra, recites the mantra, and invokes Agni (the Fire God), visualizing Agni appearing in the flames. Then, throw ghee, honey, cheese, and the items offered to Agni into the fire three times, reciting the mantra to offer them to Agni. Then, form the Vajra Wheel Mudra, making Vajra fists with both hands, and then changing to the Vajra Bond Mudra. And recite the Vajra Wheel Mantra: Om Sarva Vid Vajra Chakri Siddhi Hum Vasha Vajra Samaya Vajra Chata Vimokshana Sphat -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (转声呼)吽(引)鑁呼(引五)

结印诵真言时。心想曼拏罗现于炉中。诸佛菩萨一切贤圣皆悉现前。阿阇梨即虔志。以种种护摩物作一百八窣噜嚩。若唯用酥只掷七窣噜嚩。如是供养诸佛贤圣。及作戏鬘歌舞等八供养。乃至作二十五种供养。   阿阇梨如是作观想曼拏罗及护摩种种之法。或为国王大臣士庶弟子等。当随所求事利益众生。乃至随喜见闻皆获无量功德。   佛说大乘观想曼拏罗净诸恶趣经卷下 现代汉语译本:(转声呼)吽(引)鑁呼(引五) 结印诵真言时,心中观想曼拏罗(Mandala,坛城)显现在炉中。诸佛、菩萨以及一切贤圣都全部显现在眼前。阿阇梨(Acharya,导师)应当虔诚地,用各种护摩物做一百零八次“窣噜嚩(Sruva,一种祭祀用具)”的供养。如果只用酥油,则只投掷七次“窣噜嚩”。像这样供养诸佛贤圣,以及进行戏鬘、歌舞等八种供养,乃至进行二十五种供养。 阿阇梨像这样观想曼拏罗以及进行各种护摩之法,或是为了国王、大臣、士庶弟子等,应当随他们所求之事利益众生,乃至随喜见闻者都能获得无量功德。 《佛说大乘观想曼拏罗净诸恶趣经》卷下

English

English version: (Transliterated sound) Hūṃ (extended) Vaṃ Hū (extended five times) When forming mudras and reciting mantras, visualize the Mandala appearing within the fire pit. All Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and all virtuous sages manifest before you. The Acharya (teacher) should devoutly offer one hundred and eight Sruvas (a type of sacrificial ladle) with various homa substances. If using only ghee (clarified butter), cast only seven Sruvas. Offer in this way to all Buddhas and sages, and perform the eight offerings such as playful garlands, songs, and dances, and even up to twenty-five kinds of offerings. The Acharya, by visualizing the Mandala and performing various homa rituals in this way, whether for kings, ministers, commoners, or disciples, should benefit sentient beings according to their requests. Even those who rejoice in seeing or hearing will obtain immeasurable merit.
